[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH v2 1/2] avformat/flvenc: add option meta_period

[Gyan Doshi <ffmpeg@gyani.pro>]

Allows to re-emit global metadata. Useful for dynamic metadata.

Accepts values:
at_start or 0, for insertion only at start
at_keyframes or 1, for insertion at each video keyframe
every_packet or 2, for insertion with all video packets
